Installing Newt on Mac OS¶ Newt is supported on Mac OS X 64 bit platforms and has been tested on Mac OS 10.10 and higher. This page shows you how to: Upgrade to or install the latest release version of newt. Install the latest newt from the master branch (unstable). See Installing Previous Releases of Newt to install an earlier version of newt.
Introduction
- Homebrew makes installing applications and languages on a Mac OS a lot easier.
- This document covers compilation and installation of the Apache HTTP Server on Unix and Unix-like systems only. For compiling and installation on Windows, see Using Apache HTTP Server with Microsoft Windows and Compiling Apache for Microsoft Windows.For other platforms, see the platform documentation. Apache httpd uses libtool and autoconf to create a build environment that looks like.
Apache HTTP server is an open source cross platform web server which was released under the license of Apache 2.0. It is developed and maintained by an open community of developers under apache software foundation.
In this tutorial, we will learn the steps involved in the installation process of Apache on MacOS.
Prerequisites
- MacOS
- Login as an administrator on terminal.
- Homebrew must be installed on the system.
Installation
Installation of Apache web server on MacOS includes following steps.
1) Update the repository index of homebrew
To install Apache on our MacOS, we first need to update the index of homebrew package installer. This can be done as follows:
2) Install apache 2.0
The homebrew package installer can be used to install Apache 2.0 on MacOS. The installer installs the Apache HTTP server on the location /usr/local/Cellar/httpd .
3) Start apache
Apache provides a service named as apachectl which needs to be started in order to start Apache. The command needs super user privileges to be executed hence we have to use sudo to get the command executed.
This will start Apache HTTP server which can be tested by visiting localhost on the browser. The localhost gives the response as shown below:
4) Stop Apache
To stop Apache, we need to stop apachectl service with super user privileges as shown below.
When you stop Apache, the localhost will stop listening on port 8080 and it doesn't give any response.
Well we have successfully installed and test apache which is working fine on our MacOS.
I have been always playing with the Apache, PHP, and MySQL every time but since when I switched to Mac and wanted to make a web development environment on my Mac. So the first step is to install Apache, PHP, and MySQL.
Install Apache for Mac OS
Since Mac OS is ultimately built on Unix so it is very to install any Unix supporting software. The most interesting part is that Mac OS comes with the Apache web server and we just need to start it and make some changes to setup our development environment.
Now, We need to start the apache server with root privileges to avoid permission issues.
Therefore, just launch the terminal type the command as follows:-
After starting Apache – test to see if the webserver is working in the browser – http://localhost – you should see the “It Works!” text.
Creating Apache VirtualHosts
The default location for Apache webserver project files is
/Library/WebServer/Documents/
. In this location, you all can create your application in order to host your web applications.To enable VirtualHosts, we need to make some changes in the Apache Configuration file (httpd.conf).
Make sure that you change your DocumentRoot, ServerName and Directory location according to your needs.
Now your VirtualHosts setup is done now, just restart the apache with command
Install PHP on Mac OS X
In order to install PHP, in Mac OS you will just need to enable PHP support for Apache, i.e, to need to make changes in its (httpd) configuration file.
Open httpd.conf file with the command as follows:-
Uncomment below the line and save it.
LoadModule php7_module libexec/apache2/libphp7.so
Now restart the server and it should be able to process PHP files. To test it we can create a simple PHP file as below.
Create test.php file in the /Library/WebServer/Documents/ directory with the following lines of code as shown below and save it.
Load the PHP file in browser with URL
http://localhost/test.php
and you should see a huge page with all the PHP configurations as shown below:-Congrats now you have successfully installed PHP on your Mac OS.
Installing MySql on Mac OS
Installing MySQL in Mac OS is very simple you will just have to download MySQL dmg file from the MySQL website and just press next, next in order to install.
Download the MySql DMG file from MySql Download Website.
Open the DMG file and install MySql server
Start the MySql server if it’s not running and you can find MySQL in system preferences.

Click on MySQL and you will see the screen as below:-
If you want to control MySQL through your terminal then you will have to add MySQL directory to your shell path, this is done in your “.bash_profile” file in your home directory if you don’t have that file just create it using vi or nano:
open that “.bash_profile” and add the following line and save it.
export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/mysql/bin/

Now, you can access MySQL through your terminal, in order to check just type the command as follows:-
Now, you have successfully connected your MySQL server through your terminal.
If you want to change the MySQL root password then just login to MySQL and the query as follows:-
Change the lowercase ‘MyNewPass’ to what you want – and keep the single quotes.

Now you have successfully installed all your web development environment. If you want to GUI to manage MySQL then you can install MySQL workbench.
